Repeating from our principles section we usually hire young talented people with bachelor or master degrees immediately upon graduation and develop them professionally in-house from the start of their careers. As a result, all team members – Junior Analysts, Analysts, Senior Analysts, Project Managers – nowadays have gone along this path.

Since the company’s founding in 2002 we have taken pride in our next-to-zero voluntary employee churn. This fact helped us create a company culture facilitating easy understanding of each other, nourishing high productivity and a focus on tangible results for our Clients.

Before co-founding Rain in 2002 (until 2013 inclusive we were called Capital Strategy Ltd), Andriy worked as Senior Loan Officer in the Venture Debt Financing Department at the Western NIS Enterprise Fund (a U.S. venture capital fund) in Kyiv, Ukraine. The nature of the job required of him both financing and helping develop winning strategies for various companies. Largely thanks to these common efforts, a number of companies have introduced effective changes to their business models and remained key players in their respective industries. Overall, during his several-year tenure at the Fund, Andriy through his own initiative organized high-risk, high-return debt financing and controlled repayment for approximately 25 projects (about the same number of projects were financed with Andriy’s approval). None of these projects failed repaying the debt.

In 2002 Andriy co-founded Rain (until 2013 inclusive we were known as Capital Strategy Ltd.) and managed the company since then.
